in the employ of Darling & Son at

the 18th, and when near West Tops
ham his team ran away throwing him
out. He died from his injuries the
next afternoon. He leaves wife and

Mr.. Adams will be remembered as
the plaintiff in the case of Adams the
Town of Newbury, that was tried in
the last term of the Caledonia county
court, one of the most interesting and
closely contested cases ever tried in
against the town of Newbury to recov
er $1,000 for damages resulting from an
accident that happened to him while
driving loaded express wagon from
So. Ryegate to West Newbury in July,
1886, his claim being that the accident
was caused by defect in the highway.
After trial lasting week or more the
jury brought in verdict for the town.
Exceptions were taken by Mr.. Adams
and the case went up to the supreme
court. This accident used up Mr.. Adj
ans pretty thoroughly. His presence
in court room bolstered up in an easy
chair was one of the features of the
trial and good deal of sympathy was
created for him. 1t is a curious coin
